WELL.......
My friends sat nav that led the way took us along some of the best country roads i've seen outside the lake district which was nice, but was thinking i should be driving my quattro not my troop..
Then we get there (about 2 hours later than expected).. Picture the scene, nice HOT day lots of people, middle of the country side expecting a big quarry to put the troop through its paces etc. I have been in bigger back gardens...
Dont get me wrong it wasnt tiny but certainly wasnt worth the same to get in as Cowm which must be literally 10-15 times the size!!
Was basically a little mud pit with a couple if small climbs at the side of the road. Then we realised, although it was open to all, it was a land rover club meet and the only cars actually playing were seriously tricked up 90's and I would have been the only none land rover there.
So.. we did the decent thing and parked up, got a burger and laughed at some land rover geeks who were quoting chassis numbers to spectators and breaking down lots.

you'd know if you did.
did you see the Topgear where they took the lightened supercars to europe, to find the best driving road. The road that weaved its way down the mountainside, left to right to left etc.

...its like that, albeit a scaled down version Laughing
